Operation Manual

When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is in the boom posion the Q500
will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.
B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the Q500 will climb to 33
feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point, then will descend
vercally unl it lands.

CAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to
Home’ flight path otherwise the Q500 may come into contact with them
and crash. And while the Q500 is in Home Mode you will have a limited
amount of direconal control to help avoid obstacles, however, we strongly
recommend switching to Smart or Angle Mode to avoid the obstacle (then
you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when the Q500 has a suitable GPS
signal/lock. If the Q500 loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot)
Mode automacally. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in
Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS
signal/lock and are not able to properly control the Q500 in Angle (Pilot)
Mode the aircra may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under
warranty.
